Google CEO Brags About AI-Generated Code While Google Services Have Massive Outage

Description

A two-part meme. Top half has white text on dark background: 'Google CEO says over 25% of new Google code is generated by AI'. Bottom half shows bold red text 'ALSO GOOGLE:' followed by a Downdetector-style chart titled 'Google outages reported in the last 24 hours' showing a massive spike to over 430 reports, with the chart going from near-zero to a dramatic spike at around 9:00 AM. The juxtaposition implies correlation between AI-generated code and service outages, questioning the quality of AI-generated production code

    The good news is we're letting an AI write 25% of our code. The bad news is it just discovered race conditions and thinks they're a performance feature

    Congrats AI, you hit 25 % of the commits and 2500 % of the SLO burn rate before the coffee finished brewing

    Ah yes, the classic deployment strategy: let AI write 25% of your code, then spend 75% of your time debugging why prod went down at 9 AM when everyone's coffee-fueled and checking their Gmail. Nothing says 'innovation' quite like correlating your CEO's AI evangelism timeline with your SRE team's cortisol levels

    Ah yes, the classic 'correlation implies causation' fallacy - except when your AI-generated code passes all unit tests but somehow triggers a cascading failure at 9 AM sharp. It's like watching a junior dev's first production deploy, but at 25% of your entire codebase. The real question isn't whether the AI wrote bad code; it's whether it also generated the postmortem explaining why 'works on my machine' doesn't scale to planetary infrastructure. At least when humans cause outages, we have the decency to do it gradually throughout the day

    If 25% of commits are LLM-generated, make 75% of releases canaries with instant rollback - your error budget just learned probability the hard way

    When your DORA change-failure-rate starts tracking the model’s loss curve, maybe don’t auto-merge AI PRs without canaries and a fast rollback

    More AI Code for AI God 😁

    My new job title will be 'vibe code debugger'. We've got AI to take the good parts of coding and leave the bad parts for us! 😄

        Hopefuly the pay is worth it...

          We just need to wait for the time when all the AI code starts causing global problems, and then the specialists who can subdue it all will grow in value.

    so that's why everything is going to shit even more than usual. good to know ig

  12. @grinya_a 1y

    In principle, it won't affect anything. No one reads the reports anyway

    I am curious now what a graph over the years looks like
